Massive global study reveals hidden burden of kidney disease in dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT07607002
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at information from about 70,000 adults receiving hemodialysis around the world to find out how many have IgA nephropathy (a type of kidney disease) and how it affects their health. Researchers compared patients with IgA nephropathy to other dialysis patients to measure the extra burden of this condition. The goal was to better understand the disease's impact, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
This is a retrospective observational study using data from Phases 1 through 7 (1996-2023) of the DOPPS, a multinational, prospective cohort study of in-center HD patients across more than 20 countries. DOPPS collects standardized data on demographics, comorbidities, laboratory values, treatments, hospitalizations, and mortality, as well as many validated PROs. To ensure national representativeness and reduce selection bias, DOPPS uses a stratified random sampling approach to select dialysis facilities and patients within each participating country. Regional representation includes Europe, Japan, North America, China, Oceania, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
